Speaking of delusions, some top psychiatrists and psychologists urgently want to testify before the House Justice Committee.

Trump’s mental state is deteriorating dangerously

Quotes from Yale Medical School Professor Dr Bandy Lee, George Washington University Professor Dr John Zinner, and former CIA profiler Dr Jerrold Post:

Quote
the US president is “is ramping up his conspiracy theories” and “showing a great deal of cruelty and vindictiveness” in his “accelerated, repetitive tweets,” which she explained are signs that he is “doubling and a tripling down on his delusions”.

“Impeachment is the greatest threat to his self esteem that he’s experienced so far, and we’re very worried that his rage will be even more destructive than it’s been in the past,” he said.

He also dismissed Republicans who defend Mr Trump by claiming that his style is that of a blunt-talking New York businessman as “simply ignorant about the whole area of psychology that pertains to him”.

“These aren’t alternative viewpoints,” Dr Zinner explained, calling one “the product of very sound psychology... that comes from mainly from psychoanalytic theory, but is very established and sound and studied,” and the other “just ignorance and dismissiveness”.

Dr Lee explained that the president’s continued embrace [of] conspiracy theories was actually a public health issue because of his ability to draw members of the public into a “shared psychosis at the national level”.

I think he needs to resign "for health reasons" quite soon, or he's going to have a psychotic break. That could get very messy. Hopefully the Boys in Black are ready with the tranquilizer darts.

without equality there is no liberty
America can survive bad policy, but not destruction of our Democratic institutions

I think "the opinion" that the FBI is not supposed to investigate a possible crime is actually a delusion. We have loads of Trump's "opinions" actually being delusions, right from the size of his inauguration crowd.

Quote
“I believe that they fit the pattern of delusions rather than just plain lies,” she continued, pointing to the claim he made during a meeting with Jens Stolenberg, Nato’s secretary-general, that “many legal scholars” were “looking at the transcripts” of his 25 July phone call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and agreeing with his description of the call as “absolutely perfect” as an example of his pathology.

That's not an opinion, it's a delusion. He pulled that right out of his ass, and now he believes it.

You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.

If it is, there's probably some kind of cream for that.
Now all we need is a volunteer to rub it all over that ass.

Trump is the first president to score a trifecta in a single scheme:  abuse of power, betrayal of our national security and corruption of elections.

If your comment was a response to what I typed in response to Jeffrey, I was referring to AG Barr. I don't think he is delusional. He has a well thought out reason to believe the executive branch should be more like a dictatorship than a presidency, but that is his opinion.

Now if your comment was about Mr Trump, I think there is a problem trying to decipher his "reasons" for saying he was spied upon. However, it is clear that what he believes in regards to this is solely to support his narcissistic delusions about himself. His "reasoning" is however not clear. Off the top of my head I can think of at least two and maybe three reasons he would resort to this delusion. The result of any of them would be adulation from his base as a victim of the {{{DEEPSTATE}}}. And you may have thought the delusion was singular and personal to Mr Trump .... lol

It's called the DICK Cheney Effect. A lot of really old boomer Conservatives have that condition. Hmm
